[20:26:36] <ZizzyDizzyMC> and the downvotes signal to the artist that maybe that wasn't the best choice to draw right?
[20:26:42] <Aeyris> no
[20:26:49] <Aeyris> downvotes are most commonly used by two camps:
[20:26:52] <Aeyris> 1. idiots who cant use filters
[20:27:04] <Aeyris> 2. people trying to make a point that nobody gives a fuck about (usually "fuck this artist")
[20:27:14] <byte[]> you think fetish art is objectively bad because it's niche?
[20:27:19] <byte[]> are you okay?
[20:27:33] <Crow> "i dont like this so this is bad"
[20:27:39] <Aeyris> i mean, i dont think ive ever used downvoting on the site
[20:27:40] <Aeyris> ever
[20:27:43] <Aeyris> i upvote and favourite stuff
[20:27:46] <Aeyris> mostly RD stuff
[20:27:48] <Nebulon> I think I used it once to be funny
[20:27:49] <Aeyris> but i dont downvote anything
[20:27:53] <TimHortons> her. The actual "rape" was some shit man
[20:27:56] <ZizzyDizzyMC> *sigh*
[20:28:00] <LightningBolt> Don't forget that some artists like seeing downvotes or like seeing how many they get
[20:28:09] <LightningBolt> Not every artist sees an downvote as a fuck you
[20:28:09] <Aeyris> yeah but those are gonna be fine
[20:28:12] <Aeyris> but the sensitive ones
[20:28:14] * The-luna-fan (The-luna-f@181.57.lng.ulq) has joined
[20:28:15] <Aeyris> are not gonna be fine
[20:28:22] <Aeyris> one camp isnt gonna ragequit
[20:28:25] <Aeyris> which one do you please?
[20:28:27] <Aeyris> hint: the one that will
[20:28:28] <Nebulon> Giving people downvotes was a mistake.
[20:28:33] <Aeyris> 100% agree
[20:28:45] <RepentantAnon> i learned i wasnt downvoting correctly so i removed the ~50 downvotes i had :D
[20:28:50] <Aeyris> lol
[20:28:55] <Aeyris> like, that's a point right there
[20:28:58] <Aeyris> "i wasn't downvoting correctly"
[20:29:00] <Nebulon> It has its place on YouTube, because content creators care mainly about money and views, not votes. Votes there serve some sort of purpose.
[20:29:05] <Aeyris> there's literally criteria for you to follow to downvote
[20:29:12] <Aeyris> otherwise it's a bad downvote
[20:29:16] <Nebulon> Here, votes become the primary thing for content creators to care about...that's really bad.
[20:29:43] <Nebulon> We also don't hav the insanely good algorithms, nor quantity of things, to get people moving thru related content they'll like, like YT does.
[20:30:08] <byte[]> then let's come up with some
[20:30:14] <Nebulon> pls no
[20:30:17] <WingbeatPony> pls yes
[20:30:20] <Nebulon> Way too much scope.
[20:30:21] <Crow> the youtube of ponies
[20:30:25] <Crow> ponytube
[20:30:28] <Crow> derpitube
[20:30:32] <Nebulon> We don't hav the servers, nor the content inflow, to do it.
[20:30:40] <WingbeatPony> We used to have a "related images" thing that didn't work very well and was removed because it didn't work very well
[20:30:50] <RepentantAnon> lets get more servers in antarctica then \o/
[20:30:51] <byte[]> we can probably pull it off
[20:31:00] * soundtea has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[20:31:03] <byte[]> the servers, I mean
[20:31:10] <WingbeatPony> we now have far more images on the site, too
[20:31:13] * The-luna-fan has quit (Client Quit)
[20:31:14] <byte[]> but content inflow will be nightmarish
[20:31:19] <Nebulon> When you are primarily a gallery, votes serve little purpose. FiMfic has the same problem.
[20:31:31] <Aeyris> •byte[]> then let's come up with some
[20:31:40] <Aeyris> people go to university for a Bach in that
[20:31:42] <Aeyris> then a Master's
[20:31:43] <Aeyris> then a Ph.D.
[20:31:46] <Aeyris> and they still do a SHIT job
[20:31:49] <Aeyris> you will not do any better than them
[20:31:57] <byte[]> I don't need to
[20:32:01] <TimHortons> it's just a little tired, but Ponycon was a 3 drink minimum for something to do and he just said that because of my
[20:32:08] * Joey-AFK is now known as Joey
[20:32:16] <byte[]> I just need to make something acceptable that will keep people moving
[20:32:55] <WingbeatPony> Here's a quick and dirty keep it moving sort of thing - a keyboard shortcut to go to the first artist tag on an image, eg. "a"
[20:33:02] <Nebulon> If you do it badly, you end up with the same problems we hav.
[20:33:07] <TimHortons> equally at all what he thinks he's as bad as the .ru derpibooru url?
[20:33:11] <Aeyris> if you add keyboard shortcuts to the site without modifier keys
[20:33:17] <Aeyris> i will literally delete your account from the box
[20:33:20] <Nebulon> The best thing to do is to atrophy downvotes slowly over time until we can kill them without many caring.
[20:33:27] <WingbeatPony> oh you mean like j k s l and all the others?
[20:33:44] <byte[]> there are already modifier keys
[20:33:50] <byte[]> maybe you forgo
